Crunch Stitch Twisted Ear Warmer Crochet Pattern

This twisted ear warmer crochet pattern is crocheted in a solid and textured stitch to provide you with extra warmth in the cold winter weather. It can be worn on its own to protect the ears and forehead, or underneath a hood in extreme weather.

The crochet ear warmer works up quickly, making it great for making gifts. Plus, you don’t need much yarn, making it great for cleaning up odds and ends. Work it up in a solid color as shown, or add a few stripes using up even the smallest amounts of yarn.

Materials

• Yarn: Lion Brand Yarns – Vanna’s Choice (Worsted Weight, #4; 100% acrylic; 3.5oz/100g; 170 yds/156 m)
• Crochet Hook: J 6.00mm
• Other: Measuring Tape, Scissors, Yarn Needle.

I used Vanna’s Choice yarn with a J crochet hook. The yarn is a medium worsted weight, but it works well with a larger crochet hook. It gives you a good amount of stretch, which is always nice when it comes to ear warmers. If you need to substitute, Lion Brand Pound of Love is a good alternative.

Measurements – Size Chart

• Gauge: 12 sts = 4″.
• Finished Size: 21″ circumference by 3.5″ wide.

The finished measurements are approximately 21 inches in circumference by 3.5 inches wide. It will fit an adult medium, but is easy to adjust to other sizes as well! Both the circumference and width are super easy to modify for child and adult sizes. See this crochet ear warmer size chart. Just remember, the twist takes up about 1-2 inches, so you need to factor that in to ensure it doesn’t end up too small.
